"Last night, we arrested that guy overnight and handed the information over to the economic investigation department. They originally wanted to apply for a reward for you, but Director Duan considered the confidentiality of your identity and declined on your behalf."
"But rest assured, your credit won’t be diminished. Director Duan has already reported the matter internally in National Security, and you’ll be rewarded. I’ll notify you when there’s news."
Qi Yun replied insincerely, "Haha, it’s all part of my duties. I never expected any reward."
Ge Dabao sighed and said, "Old Qi, your level of awareness is truly unmatched. Compared to you, I’m a bit ashamed."
"Captain Ge, you’re too modest. You personally led the team during the arrest that day, handling all the dangerous tasks. I only contributed with some words..."
After exchanging a few more compliments, they ended the call.
Qi Yun smiled, pocketing his phone, and was about to find Brother Peng for a chat when he saw a man and a woman walking down the corridor towards him.
Both were dressed in formal attire, clearly not from Qi Yun’s company.
He had told all his employees to dress casually unless meeting clients, even slippers were acceptable otherwise.
The two reached closer and directly entered Zhong Rui’s office, then Zhong Rui led them to an adjacent meeting room.
Qi Yun stubbed out his cigarette and headed towards the meeting room.
Inside the meeting room, Zhong Rui was pouring water for the two. Seeing Qi Yun enter, he quickly introduced, "Gentlemen, this is our company boss, President Qi."
The duo stood, politely extending their hands to greet Qi Yun, "Hello, President Qi, I’m Hu Chengqi from Tianhong Games, and this is my colleague Yan Xirui."
Hu Chengqi looked about the same age as Qi Yun, while Yan Xirui seemed younger.
Qi Yun smiled while shaking hands with both, "It’s a pleasure to meet you."
After seating, he straightforwardly asked, "I heard you wanted to see me, may I know why?"
Hu Chengqi and Yan Xirui exchanged glances, then Yan Xirui began, "President Qi, we’ve come on behalf of our company to discuss potential collaboration."
Qi Yun raised an eyebrow, "What kind of collaboration?"
Yan Xirui pulled a document from her handbag, glanced at it, and replied, "We’ve been following your company’s game, ’Defense of Azeroth,’ for quite some time now. The game is currently receiving excellent feedback in the market."
Qi Yun smiled at her, "Thank you for your company’s recognition."
Yan Xirui also smiled, changing her tone slightly, "But, if I may be frank, the survival of a game relies not only on its quality but also on long-term operational planning, marketing, and other strategies. These resources are often lacking in newer companies."
"We can provide your company with these resources, which is the basis of our collaboration."
Qi Yun nodded noncommittally, crossing his hands in front of him, "And what do you want in return?"
Yan Xirui stood and placed a document in front of Qi Yun, saying, "We’ve brought two proposals to discuss with you today."
"The first proposal is Tianhong Games offering eight million to acquire 51% of your company’s shares. Afterward, we’ll allocate significant resources to assist in the game’s development and operation, ensuring it becomes a hit rapidly."
"The second proposal is our company willing to spend twenty million to buy the game outright."
